三、阅读理解
12. There are many words unique to Australian English.
Ortotrot I came across that word while studying at a school in North Head,Manly,New South Wales, Australia,in 1974. It is local slang(俚语)for Are you ready (fo go) and it was derived from the sound of a carriage-pulling horse. At Sydney Airport. I asked the way to the train station and he told me, “Go ask that over there.” is used in Australia and refers to a person.
Day and die sound almost alike and since “a”,“i” and “o" all sound almost the same, I have always told my friends,jokingly,that they only need 24 letters,and not 26 like the rest for us.
Australian English began diverging from British English in 1788. In 1827 Peter Cunningham-in his book Two Years in New South Wales, reported that native-born white Australians spoke with a distinctive accent and vocabulary.
Australian English has many words that some consider unique to the language. One of the best known is outback, meaning a faraway area. Another is the hush , meaning either a native forest. Bush is a word of Dutch origin: “Bosch”. However, both terms have been widely used in many English-speaking countries. Early settlers from England brought other similar words, phrases and usages to Australia. Bonzer, which was once a common Australian slang word meaning "great" or "beautiful", is thought to have been an American term. Since the 1950s, the American influence or language in Australia has come from pop culture. Australian English is most similar to New Zealand English for their similar history.
Words of Irish origin are used, some of which are also common elsewhere in the Irish, such as tucker for “food”, as well as one or two native English words whose meanings have changed under Irish influence,such as paddock for "field", which has exactly the same meaning as the Australian paddock.
